SHAVING-GUP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 1, 1921.

Application filed March 7, 1919,8eria1 No. 281,213. Renewed July 19, 1920. Serial No. 397,547.

To all 10 7mm it may concern Be it known that I, LEWIS A. AMIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Muskogee, in the county of Muskogee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving-Cups; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. n

This invention relates to shaving cups or mugs and one of the objects thereof is to provide an inexpensive, durable lather cup of such construction that it may be conveniently carried as part of a traveling kit and which may be attached to a shaving stick so that the end of the soap will be received through an orifice in the cup to serve as a plug and also provide the saponifying agent to make the lather. Another object of the invention is to so construct the cup that it may fit over the stick in such manner that the stick will form a standard or base for the The invention also contemplates a provision of means for providing a shaving cup adapted to be supported upon the rim of a bracket, mug or other suitable receptacle so that it may be readily detachable therefrom. r a

In the drawings,

Figure I is a perspective view of a con ventional type of shaving stick and case, showing the cup applied, parts of the cup being broken away to better illustrate its construction, and

Fig. II is a detached fragmentary perspective view of a slightly modified form of cup Referring now to the drawings by numerals of reference:

1 designates a shaving stick base having a detachable complementary member 2, which fits over the shaving stick 3 which may consist of any appropriate kind of soap. 1 The shaving stick 3 is generally round and may fit through a conical bottom orifice 45in the bowl-shaped cup 5, the end 6 of the stick forming a bottom plug which closes the orifice 4t and presents a saponifying surface to the action of the brush when water is supcleaned after use and which may be conveniently carried in the kit of a traveler.

In Fig. II I have shown a slightly modified form of cup differentiating from the preferred form primarily in that it is provided with a circumferential bead or rim 7 around its perimeter which may rest upon the edge of a bracket, mug or other suitable receptacle whereby it may be suitably supported and removably held thereon in an obvious manner. c

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

As a new and complete article of manufacture, a shaving cup comprising a rubber bowl-shaped member having an orifice in the bottom thereof to receive a detachable saponifying plug, the walls of the opening diverging from the top toward the bottom and adapted to resiliently engage the plug.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LEWIS A. AMIS.
